On mu review here https://brexitmodeller.com/forums/topic/3123-grumman-f6f-5-hellcat/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-35496 I thought the oilcanning was as much as I would want I still think the Wingnut lanc is over done but may look better under paint

Lovely

Beautiful work Ernie

That's looking awesome

So would I

Looking awesome sir

Good god man that's awesome

Following closely Ron. Usually for the grey sections of the r2800 I use tamiya's neutral grey as that appears to have the blue tinge to it that works. I will be using a lot of what you have done here. It's a masterclass in the 2800 but I am peeved that airfix didn't include the pw logo for the cranck case eduard supply a nice pe one for their 1/48 Hellcats

That's looking awesome jeroen

Something else I've been looking at is this https://brexitmodeller.com/forums/topic/3136-grumman-f6f-5-hellcat/?tab=comments#comment-35460 I've put it in there on the forum admin with the same build but it appears airfixes interior colour call outs could be a bit wide of the mark

Hi this will be my build of the airfix kit mostly out of the box but a few differences. Firstly it'll be Fleet Air Arm, that means a q type harness. Luckily HGW make one which is the Sutton q that will fit the bill nicely secondly colour schemes I'm good friends with Sean at top notch masks so I suggested some fleet air arm schemes and he came up with this lot one of which is a kit scheme I'll be going for the last scheme in glossy sea blue. The ejector pin marks need some work but the photos below show the starting of where I am

Looks great jeroen

Nice

Very nice

Watching with interest

Great work Ernie

Lovely build

Gorgeous

Loving that jeroen
